Working with English - language in the workplace

Working with English - language in the workplace

Your Course
This course will suit those who are using English at work or those who are currently seeking work in an English speaking environment.
The aims of this course are to develop existing knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and to work on reading, writing, listening and speaking, all with a focus on language used in business and work environments. Participants should have a good intermediate level of English or higher.
There will be a focus on communication and developing fluency through a range of communicative activities and role plays. Each lesson will be based on a different area of business and new vocabulary will be introduced and practised in the class and with exercises at home. Lessons will also include some grammar extension through the introduction and practice of functional business language. Reading and writing skills will be developed through topical texts. It is hoped that participants will be able to practise new language in authentic situations in their daily lives.
